Generation 6

Thomas DeVoe/Deveaux

After his father's death he leased of of the Philips' Manor farms in Lower Yonkers...
confiscated in the year 1785, at which time...was in possession of Jacob Taylor, and
afterwards purchased by him in 1785.

Several years before the Revolution had commenced [he] moved to the upper part of Somers Town
(about 9 miles from Peekskill), then known as "Stephentown." He had previously married Hannah Tompkins,
the aunt of Hon. Daniel D. Tompkins [Gov of NY 1807-1817 and VP of USA from 1817-1825].

The father was said to have been a fine looking man, naturally gifted from the examples set by
his parents; these together with an intelligent wife, were enabled to bring up their children,
although numerous, yet with much credit. They, however, had poverty and considerable stuggling through
their early life, but their later years were blessed with a general prosperity and happiness with
their numerous and intelligent children.

Among this large and growing family were several stout boys...anxious to seek a western home...
[Elijah's] glowing letters induced his father to arrange his affairs and follow on with loaded teams...
at last [after several weeks] they reached a wild-looking country, which afterwards became known as
Greenfield in Ulster County, NY.

In the year 1800...[Thomas died, Hannah soon after] and both lie buried in that place.
